A few weeks ago a couple girls from UH manoa got a proper shaming at pipeline. The decided to sleep behind Jamie O'Brien's main house behind volcom. Being ill equipped with an open air jeep they were instant targets. That night my friend Kaikea happened upon their car and checked them out.They didn't seem as if they were up for partying at the house so another plan was made for them. Hours later at 4am they were woken up by Jamie and Kaikea army crawling from his yard. Seconds later the distinct sound of two stink bombs hitting the dashboard and the smell of dead animals filled the Jeep. The boys retreated and the girls stayed for the night in a smelly Jeep. The learned that no matter where you sleep on Ke Nui road you'll always end up smelling bad and feeling degraded.

greatest story I heard was tom carrol in the 91 pipe masters against derek ho(think it was 91, not sure) and tom was on the way to the final when he heard his sister just died in a car crash so he set his mission to win for his sister, tom n derek do the paddle battle, ho technicaly had the wave, tom went, bottom turned, got pitted and spat out to be crowned champ.

The only sick story I have heard of personally related to Pipeline was the story of Ian Walsh. I live in Rhode Island, where, many people don't know Ian grew up. He lived in Newport, Ri for 4 years of his life until his lucky ass moved to Maui. WIth that said when he was like 14 he saved up his money, bought a one way ticket to the north shore, left his family a note and flew to surf the high prestigious Pipeline. I just look at this story with such determination on Ian's part, such a dedicated surfer that will always charge and a role model for myself. Aloha.

We were all up at the motocross track as kids while our dads were building the track we couldn't ride dirtbikes so we had BMX bikes. We decided we wanted to ride down the long dirt road. on the way down we decided to ride all the way to PIPELINE which is a long way from the top track and going back up would suck but I agreed because being from waianae then, I never went to pipeline. we got there and it was ammmazing! such a beautiful beach with bomb waves! on the way back a friend with a truck was on his way up to the track and gave us a ride up! everything worked out better than planned haha!

Im a wakeboarder from florida but i love the brand and love surfing as well, so why not give it a shot! Although i dont know much about really specific stories in surfing, someone once sent me a link to a truly inspiring story. The story was about Darek Rabelo, a blind boy from brazil. He came to the north shore and visited pro surfer Makua Rothman's house. The man that Derek was traveling with claimed that through derek's loss of vision, hes made his other senses keen as can be. Derek said he wanted to surf but rothman didnt believe him, so he took him out to pipeline. At first, derek started getting pummeled by waves but after a couple steep drop-ins, he got the hang of it and started looking like all the others out there that day( even getting barreled). The rest of the surfers there were in awe! This story inspires me because I know how much a passion for a sport can push you beyond your own limits. Enjoy:)

Even though I have never surfed pipe it's a dream of mine. I don't think it should be what was your best memory of pipe. But what was your best memory of surfing. So if this was to count (which I hope it does haha) my favorite memory of surfing was when I first started to learn, with my favorite teacher my uncle. The Jersey shore has no comparison to Pipe but in my eyes at the time it was the greatest thing to it. Now every year when we are back together we continue to share and make more memories of our surfing experiences . That what I believe an how I think I should win this.

My third time at pipe, waves were overhead and clean. It was a couple hours before sunset and all of the old uncles were out, along with a random group of mainlanders. Bodyboarders and surfers were both doing their thing and a massive set comes in. A bunch of people paddle for it but one old local guy on a vintage board takes off really deep and makes it. A classic hawaiian pipe. Everybody was staring and about half the lineup gets smashed by the next wave.

From the movie dark fall, flynn novak was interviewed about pipeline. In this interview he stated that he loves surfing pipeline and theres no other wave like it, but he will never call someone to go surf it with him because its such a gnarly and dangerous wave. That just explains how hardcore and nasty bonzai pipeline is

The best Pipeline story is it's history itself! Considering it was said to be too dangerous to ride in the 60's. It was first BODYSURFED by some crazy north shore watermen! Imagine what death wish those people should have had!!

I am just getting into surfing and Have only done it a couple times and to be honest it is just rad how a man or women can be barreled by such a powerful force. Surfs up! Shout out to transworld for this tight opportunity!!!!!

At the 2006 pipe Masters, AI beat Slater.
Kelly had an insane combo but Andy came through with two unsurpassing scores in rough conditions, and then to top it off paddles with kelly for a wave out at back door and gets a perfect 10. the crowd went hysteric.

Winter 1961, Phil Edwards surfs Pipeline for the fist time for Bruce Brown's "Surfing Hollow Days." Then, Mike Diffenderfer names it Pipeline after road work which is being done nearby. And so it began...
